Good technique is taught like a rugby tackle from a young age. Head off to the side (preferably ball side or even try to knock the ball out with your head), shoulder into the carrier's midsection, wrap up, and take them to the ground. But when you have a helmet on you feel invincible and there is no bigger rush than completely smashing someone into another dimension. So with a lot of people they throw all technique out the window and fly into people like a torpedo.
Even if you get a flag, a good hit will make anyone think twice about going over the middle or just stretching out for a catch.
It's not ear ringing, it's the smell of blood.
@@77marioland Good point, just like UFC or boxing, a big hit will make your opponent hesitant and make them think twice about every move they make. Just playing against a guy with a reputation of big hits, like Ray Lewis, will give a wide receiver alligator arms going across the middle.
"Is there a problem in ameriacn football with concussions" hahahha theres a movie about new fields of neuroscience study from nfl concussions starring will smith
it's called "Concussion" and it's a great movie.
Basically the majority of nearly all comprehensive CTE or brain bouncing off skull repeatedly is sourced from NFL
There is a saying in American football “keep your head on a swivel” you can get hit if you’re part of the play with or without the ball. You should always be looking for where the next contact is coming from.
This not just NFL but cfl college and high school.
When I played, I was one of the bigger guys at the time (6''8", 270) and I got three concussions, the worst of which left me dazed for the better part of a week. I've got permanent neck damage from a head to head hit, as well. It's just part of the game, though the rules are different now to limit some of the severity.
Wow! Crazy stuff! Thanks for watching, big respect to you for commenting and helping me understand. Do you regret it?
@@IamTyrant Overall, no. But there are days when my neck decides to really hurt, or I have trouble with my hands, and then there are a few second thoughts. You definitely feel it more with age.
With that height, you were definitely a receiver, right?
I played offensive line at 6'1" and also about 270 pounds. As much as you take knocks in a line position, I really think we had the better end of the deal. From my experience, brain injuries and the like were pretty rare for linemen, as there's just not enough room to build up a ton of speed most of the time. Bruises, twisted ankles and knees, and broken fingers were common, but neck and head injuries weren't.
In high school I occasionally was played as a running fullback position, since I was both one of the heavier people and faster people on the team when given the space to get into a full sprint. The hits in that role often felt way worse than the ones as a lineman, even when coming from much smaller players.
@@markandrew5968 I thought OT or DE, I was an OT and started seeing a chiropractor in high school, helped keep my neck and back flexible. Stretching and flexibility are just as important as strength.
'contact off the ball'- In AF, the Offense can block the Defense to prevent them from tackling their teammate who has the ball.
Down South where I come from Football ain't just a game its a way of life. ❤❤ College Football is better. Alabama Roll Tide Roll Ya'll. ❤❤
Judging by your reaction, I don’t think you fully understand how much energy is colliding here, and how bad these hits hurt, or injure
You cannot contact the head with any part of your body but the ground is the most unforgiving advorsary in this sport
Excellent, keep them coming. I suggest NFL most athletic plays, and the best college football entrances and atmosphere. The football season is short, with less than 10 home games, so each one is like an event.
As requested 😜
I wish they had a better “most athletic plays” vid/ compilation
The most popular one is kinda lame
Welcome to the NFL, its one of the big four sports we have here.
The others are MLB, NBA and NHL, and don't forget college football, it's
bigger than the NFL. The 15 biggest stadiums are all college.8 are over 100K.
If you have played organized football you have suffered a concussion. Its THAT common.
True, I only played through high school and got 2. Also gave out one or two. Injuries are just part of the game. You don’t finish a game without your forearms all bruised and usually an ankle, shoulder, rib, or hip hurting.
The average NFL hit is the equivalent of roughly a 58 kph car crash.
Welcome to American Football, anything can happen. 1000s of concussion
The ball holder needs to get the ball down field so that they can get it in the end zone for a touchdown. The get running as fast as they can.
Ya, hitting off the ball is allowed but blindside blocks have been banned for the most part. You cant hit a defenseless player but if he has you in his peripheral then its a clean block.
how is this differnt from holding?
@@IamTyrant- you can hit them in the front or side, but you can’t grab
Just like lineman can block and knock you down, but cannot grab jersey or wrap the arms around someone who doesn’t have the ball
Also can’t block someone in the back
I’m pretty sure blocking is legal as long as you’re not hitting from behind.
Hitting people without the ball as long as your on offense is legal. But you cannot grab and hold the player to keep them from making the tackle
Good portion of these hits were legal at the time but would be illegal now. Most specifically the helmet to helmet contact which was not illegal in the past as long as you didn’t lead with your helmet.
Majority of these tackles would be penalized in today’s NFL
If both players are going full speed and they hit each other going at each other the collision is said to be the dame as a Pickup truck going 60 miles an hour towards a wall
This game used to be called the National Concussion League. In recent years, with fines and regulations, it has returned to the National Football League! It's no secret that some players tried taking certain players out no less than 10 years ago for competitive advantage, but those kinds of things have been regulated due to the 2500 cases of formers players having difficulty with their health in some capacity and suing the NFL over it!
If you hit somebody without the ball it’s called a block but you have to be careful because there are multiple flags that can result from it
Need to watch "Biggest NFL Freaks of Nature" "Best Big Guy Plays"
I’m just editing it! Will be out tomorrow!
I would suggest viewing some of the videos about the rules , positions ,and tactics of football before you react to more football videos . Doing football videos without any understanding of what is going on is a bit like trying to fly a jet fighter when you only have experience riding a bicycle .Also check out videos of college football ,most Europeans are amazed by how big college football is in the USA
Off ball blocking is aload no head contact though
Played football in the UK for nearly twenty years, I was a bit small so always lead with my head when blocking so I could get my full weight in. This technique is now totally illegal.
Interesting Roy! Who are the big teams in the UK to look out for? Thanks for watching
@@IamTyrant been a few over the years. London Ravens in the 80s. London Olympians in the 90s. Birmingham Bulls, Coventry, Manchester had good teams since then. London Blitz on top recently.
The NFL has a concussion protocol plus head to head contact will get you ejected from the game.
12:13 If I recall correctly, that was a $75,000 hit... that was the fine levied.
I’m glad that I’m spotting when things are unusual.. thank you!
Hitting after the quarterback throws the ball is illegal,but hitting the receiver is allowed.
You could lead with the head in the past. Now you can’t lead with the crown of your helmet, that is a penalty. You can block for the guy running with the ball. You are not supposed to block in the back though.
A lot of these hits have been made illegaql in the alst five years to protect players. No more head to head direct contact is allowed in the open field. Ideal hits are head to chest.
Some of these hits would now be called a foul, there has been alot of rule changes to get rid of high hits to the head and shoulders in recent years.
Very well done. Your analysis was good and I respect the fact that you took the time to go back and slow down some clips to see what was going on. A couple tidbits:
At 11:53 the hit on the receiver resulted in a broken jaw.
The face mask grab clip actually was legal. Before face masks were worn by everyone, they were used to protect players who had facial injuries and could be manipulated like any other part of the uniform. My father played college football in the early 1950’s and broke his nose and told me about this once.
For some frame of reference when it comes to hitting/tackling it’s important to note that youngsters used to be taught to “run through” the opponent and take them to the ground. This caused the player to leave their feet which made launching a byproduct of this technique if not taught properly especially in an era when players were looking to make the big hit and not simply tackle the opponent. Launching into an opponent and contact with a defenseless player in the head or neck area is a penalty most times and in the NFL probably a fine.
Contact away from the ball is legal, but many of the blocks in this video would be illegal today with the rule changes that have been implemented to protect players.
You'll notice that the plays near the end are kids
Do the Super Bowl watch for sure! Watching even just half a full game will help you understand some of the smaller details and rules
The size of the squadhas little to nothing to do with injuries and everything to do with the complexity and subsequent specialization of the game. American football is the most complex sport in the world.
Speed? NFL has hd Olympic gold medal winner sprinters. Many who have run 10 sec. in 100 meters and Tyreek Hill just ran a 6.6 sec 60 meter t a track event...
To your question on the limits of off ball hitting (down field blocks generally to create more space for ball carrier). The player blocking or hitting in this situation cannot be going down field towards their end zone (the opposite one the ball carrier is rushing towards). Most of the plays in that vid are no longer allowed and would result in a 15 yard penalty at least if not a fine from the league. In college there’s a penalty called “targeting” which is called when a player leads with the crown of the helmet and/or has forcible contact to the head or neck area of the player. The play gets reviewed after the penalty is called to determine if the defender is disqualified for the remainder of the game and potentially the first half of the next game depending on when the play occurs. CTE is a major concern in football currently. Football should probably start seriously considering dropping pads and only wear scrum caps in the near future because it seems like the pads just enable players to use their body as a weapon rather than slowing down just enough to make a proper fundamental tackle. And there are few former players who were defensive players that share this sentiment
The tackling techniques differ between rugby and football because of the nature of the gameplay. In rugby, play doesn't stop when a player tackles the ball carrier, whereas it does in American football. That means it's all about the most efficient way of bringing themto the ground, and many times that means lowering your shoulder and ramming them so hard that they land into next week.
That’s a really good point! One of the best I’ve seen!
You got a sub bud
A few suggestions:
NFL here comes the boom
MLB longest homeruns or best infield/outfield throws
NBA best slam dunks
NHL biggest glass breaking moments.
And for something different try biggest skateboard
bails fails and head slams.
Europeans are soooo preoccupied with the Super Bowl haha. The Super Bowl is literally just the last game of the playoffs. It’s important. It determines the champion. However, it is rarely one of the top 20 games of the year, even.
And for most of my life, the Super Bowl tends to be a pretty bad game, overall (one team is clearly better).
Its comparable to a situation where Americans are talking on and on about the World Cup Final, but completely ignoring the actual World Cup tournament … just merely focusing on that one last match, which sometimes is compelling, or other times might be two teams running around for 90 minutes, and then one team scores one time late in the match? It’s bizarre.
We need a 53 man roster not only for injuries but for example if a player has been on the field for a few plays they will call that player off and have the second up player come on the field so the other guy can rest a bit and they switch out as needed.
It's also fun to listen to the mic'd up players if you find a team that you like to follow. Feel free to follow KC Missouri Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes!! 😂 The more fans the merrier!! 🏈✌️
Good vid
Forget anything to do with rugby. It has nothing to do with football. Rugby is a contact sport. Football is a collision sport. Welcome to the NFL. Suit up.
MLB homeplate collison is good one to react to.
Anyone can hit anyone else at any time, with only a couple of exceptions related to kickers.
a lot of retired players have cte
I’m not surprised 😯
If they played without helmets there'd be multiple deaths every game.
I wonder why this isn’t the case in Rugby.. I think the vertical (high tackling/jumping) is what makes it unique and spectacular to watch! Thanks for commenting!
@@IamTyrant you got 240 lb guys who bench 450 lbs running full speed head first into each other is a big reason why a helmet is a must.
From the last reaction and this one, you keep saying "touching." There is no such thing called touching. The penalty is called Holding. You can touch but not hold/grab. There are so many rules in the NFL. There are rules that hardcore NFL fans dont know about. College rules are easier since they are teenagers. Rugby is a contact sport. NFL is a collision sport.
Watch Superbowl 52 (Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots)
Thanks Alex, I'm still deciding which one to watch for a watch-a-long. The superbowls are on CZcams in Full, I'm just working out the Copyright situation ... but hopefully I'll get that up soon!
Cool! I'm from Philadelphia it was our first superbowl win. We we're the underdogs that season everyone expected us to lose. But we won. It was awesome. I hope to see the Eagles win a few more.
Yes concussions are a problem. New rules state helmet to helmet is now a penalty and you can be ejected from the game.
Same thing as picking up and slamming someone to the ground is also a penalty now with ejection to follow.
Check out the movie: Concussion
No hand to the face or grabbin the face mask or grabbing the back of the shirt by the collar
Away from the ball you can hit any player in the front of the body. Nothing head to head now, but you can hit below the waist to an extent. If you block someone in the back ot take out the legs from someone who deosn't have the ball it is called clipping and it is a 15 yeard penalty.
Much if not most of this is not NFL. You even have a college player in your thumbnail.
The comparison between Gridiron ("American") Football and Rugby Football is inevitable. Obviously, there are common roots, some similarities in game flow and scoring, and overlap of athletic skill set. Neither game is for the timid.
Gridiron football is by far the more dangerous of the two, however. I'll explain how:
As you point out, rules governing allowable tackling are far stricter in rugby.
A rugby pitch is much broader than a gridiron field, and therefore less congested.
In rugby, shepherding the ball carrier is not allowed. In American football, it is required. Every player on the field is both predator and prey.
In rugby, the general flow of attacking play and defensive pursuit runs nearly perpendicular to the direction of attack. In gridiron football, those two elements are directionally opposite. As a result, the closing speed and force of impact are far greater in gridiron than in rugby.
The gridiron equivalent of a rugby scrum, occurs ~120 times per game. They are also far more violent (again, by design of the game, not size/strength/quality of the athletes themselves) than rugby scrums.
It is not possible to play any sport at anything approaching a competitive level, without collecting some bumps, bruises, strains and sprains. However, in gridiron football, a competitive player is almost guaranteed to sustain some type of brain injury. Whether or not that brain injury rises to proper trauma is up to a neurologist to confirm (or a pathologist, post mortem).
I'm American and grew up with gridiron football, as well as association football (soccer). I played both and enjoyed both.
But, the more I learn, the more disenchanted I become with gridiron football. I'll stick with the Beautiful Game, and my beloved Celtic FC (last night's Spanish debacle, notwithstanding).
Cheers
Thanks for this comment! Some really good points here which I’ll address in my next video!
Only Arsenal supporters are tough enough for American football!
COYG
Well being beaten all the time does toughen you up I guess.
Look up CTE. It's a very serious brain condition that they've found in lots and lots of football players, even college and high school players. Yes concussions are a real problem and a lot of the hits in this video are now illegal.
you need 50 people because there's 11 on a side and then special teams. 2 deep offense and defense is 44. Throw in the kicker, punter, long snapper and that's already 47.
I guess my question is why isn’t there more cross overs…from defence to offensive lines and visa versa. But I get it’s complex! Thanks!
@@IamTyrant You have more cross over in the youth and up to high school level. By the time you get to the college level most the player are specialists at the position they play. Also if they are good enough to make it to the NFL then they start making millions and team owners don't want to the the chance on losing a player to injury because they were playing both sides of the ball. AF is a physically brutal sport and if you're playing both sides of the ball every game you're definitely going to get hurt.
@@IamTyrant A lot of the special teams roster consists of the second/third string offense and defense players, because two deep per position is not a good way to staff a game. So there is some crossover. Between the O/D though, they're extremely specialized even to the physique of a player on a given position (especially linesmen). It's possible you've got defensive linesmen out there somewhere who haven't touched a football in a game their entire careers, they exist solely to block OL, close seams, and if possible turn the QB into a thin paste. But not too hard, don't want a 'roughing the passer' penalty :)
They get paid so much because they can loose their careers in one play. Maybe more. You can't lead with your helmet anymore. Clotheslining is not allowed either.
a whole lot of these were penalties for sure
Flopping causes brain bleeds?!?! No wonder real athletes don’t play soccer/“football.”
Football has become Europeanized and made into a pussy game and has completely ruined it
